Age has finally caught up with my car (93 GTS-t)?

My power windows stopped working all of a sudden last night.

Lucky it was in the closed position otherwise rain may get in.

When I press the button, there's a click sound in both up/down direction,

which means the motor still got power but something has prevent it to

stop rolling down the windows.

Anyone know how to fix it? There's a couple of tutorial somewhere but now

one of the the thread missing and the other thread the picture links

dont' work anymore. I did a search and yield nothing.

Alternatively anyone know who can fix this easily without damaging my interior door trim? I got quite a busy work schedule sometimes wont even have time to fix it myself after work :rofl:

ahahahaaa had the same problem...... kinda fixed it

what i did was take the door trim off..... then where the buttons are for the doors/windows disconnect that.

trace it back to this little black box about 2x3x6 long. unlug it and take it off the door ( two screws ) then open it up. Mine ended up cracking, but cause its hard to take it off without breaking.

inside you will see a cicruit board with two coils. Clean the contats by sanding it down a bit to clean it.

* mine i had to move the resistors and capasitors abit, cause it worked when it was at a certain angle * so just move the components just a bit to see if you have any dry joints.

its working now, but for how long i dont know. tempory fix.

if anyone knows where to get it from new and how much, please let us know.

ohh yeah

its embarrasing going though maccas, car parks and toll boths.

went threw the m5, opened the door and threw 5 coins at once and they all went in and the toll booth guy said " great shot, thats was a five shooter"

Latest news: I haven't got around to fix it yet, but this morning it was very cold and i tried to play around with the up/down switch. it suddenly made a rattling sound (like a gear tooth missed or something) on the up direction. then i push towards down and the windows wind down!!! then i wind it up again, then it stuck again in up position :cheers:

until now....

from the rattle sound i heard before, looks like not electrical but more like something in the mechanism has dislodged or loose?

yeah dude, it sounds like the regulator is broken. My one broke the second day i got the car (from UAS). It was pretty funny when it happened - i heard a really loud bang and i thought someone chucked a rock at my car, so i pulled over and looked around with a real pissed off look on my face hoping to see some smart ass kunt running. Then when i turned around to check the car, i saw the window was crooked. lol.

In the end it cost me ~$340 to fix it. WHAT A RIP OFF!

anyways, the whole part needs to be replaced. so be prepared to spend from $150 - $350 in total incl "labour" (pfft).

thanks for the info...

If it's the regulator or the mechanism, anyone know where can i get it replaced in melbourne? do i have to use special nissan parts or issit some generic parts that any power window repairer can use?

i still have my old motor that shat istelf. im sure theres like a generic motor out there that'll fit. i just couldnt be bothered running around to find out. might take it to nissan one day....one day..LOL i just bought a used gtr one off the forum and whacked it in. should cost you 100-150 and an hr on the weekend to fix. my window now works and i have an extra 10kw's :wassup:

finally got my motor fixed by an auto electrician, cost like $70

but it is advised that I start to look for a replacement motor,

as the fix is still a bit dodgy, like it will slow down when the motor

turns and hit the "bad spot", notchy operation...

    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
